An Existentialist masterpiece, by Camus. Set in sun-drenched Algiers, Meursault rejects the societal norm of showing emotion when his mother dies. As the story progresses, he commits a random act of murderous violence on the beach and a farcical trial ensues to determine his guilt. But Meursault continues to observe ‘normal’ human feelings as an outsider looking in. Camus’ extraordinary novella is not only a portrayal of the purposelessness of human existence, but a strange, beautiful and sensual book. “The sun glinted on Raymond’s revolver as he handed it to me”. This copy was published by Penguin in 1976.

Proust’s Paperbacks is a seller of vintage books, found in cities all over the world. From London to Paris and Mexico City, we’ve picked up the best literature on our travels for your reading pleasure. Books that excite us, inspire creativity, and teach us things we never knew. Every book is then wrapped in recycled brown paper like the booksellers of old used to do. We feel that pre-loved books exude character and evoke memories.
